While we're glad you joined us, I'm sorry to hear your breakfast experience didn't meet expectations. We'll be reviewing your comments with our culinary team to improve consistency. We appreciate you giving us a try and hope to provide a better experience in the future. Warm regards, Wes Brown It's great to receive a response from the business manager regarding our experience at their restaurant, but all four us thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast. We had absolutely no complaints regarding our dining experience. Caroline is affiliated with the Marriott Element and Aloft hotels and that, I believe, where the affiliation ends. I try to avoid hotel eateries but I've had great dining experiences at hotels like the JW Marriott in Austin. We, four, stopped by on a Sunday AM for breakfast and we had a great time. They do have brunch cocktails available and their bloody Mary's were deemed excellent with just the right amount of spice. My bloody Maria was on point and we all got our Sunday Funday started. Breakfast was wonderful. Our eggs arrived cooked perfectly. The pepper bacon and real potato sides were off the charts delicious. They also offer a few TexMex breakfast options and Plus one was raving about her Huevos Rancheros plate. Service was excellent even though they became busy our server was very attentive. Pro tip: Sat and Sun AMs if you arrive early you can easily score a table.

Coming in you see so many seating options whether you wanna sit indoors or outdoors, they give you a choice. You go to the front and order your food and pay for it right away and they give you a number so they could bring the food to your table. My friend and I watched ordered an entree and I had to add a drink in to try it. Brisket & Eggs- really good! It was not salty and it was a perfect balance! I ordered mine with a soft scrambled and lowkey I should've gotten the sunny side up eggs. The brisket was moist and not salty like other brisket I have had. Along with the grits on the bottom, it was creamy and light. Overall a great dish. Blood Orange Lalo-ma- on a hot day in Texas, this is a must have! It's so refreshing and with it being fruity, it was definitely a great choice. Also it's not super sweet. Overall I like this place a lot! My friend really wanted me to try it and I finally was able to try it. Great customer service and items I would come back again. It's so good!

The food was incredibly creative while still feeling approachable and shareable. Every dish felt thoughtful and unique without being overcomplicated. The burrata with curry was unreal, the beet hummus was packed with flavor, the shrimp was perfect, and the desserts completely lived up to the hype. One of those menus where you immediately want to order more just to try everything. The atmosphere is also part of what makes it special. Tucked into a former laundromat in a quiet neighborhood, it has that effortlessly cool Austin feel. It was charming, relaxed, and unexpected. And the staff truly elevated the experience. Warm, polished, knowledgeable, and attentive without ever feeling pretentious. Absolutely worth the short drive from the airport area.

For me the Salisbury steak was the best I've ever had. I'm from the Midwest and that was a staple but when I got to Cali it was rare to find. Fun fact we own a family restaurant since 1983 and that was on the menu but people really didn't order it like that so we discontinued it. Maybe if it tasted like yalls it would've worked. Anyway whenever we are in Austin again we are coming straight there. I love the popcorn snack before the meal as well and that could've been my dinner by itself.

The absolute star of the show was the Street Corn Queso. Our waiter, Chris, recommended adding brisket to it, and that completely changed the game!

Pro tip: it's not officially on the menu, but definitely ask your waiter to add the brisket--you won't regret it (huge thanks to Chris!). As for the main course, the classic cheeseburger was humongous and super juicy, served alongside fries that were delightfully airy and crispy. While the bun was a bit underwhelming, it was still a very satisfying burger overall. Portion sizes here are huge across the board, so definitely come with a big appetite or plan on taking home leftovers! Highly recommended.

The patio has an adorable view and it has air conditioning which was a nice surprise in the extreme Texas heat. We ordered the chalupa and Wagyu burger. The chalupa was fresh and tasty, the peach was a nice touch. I loved the eggplant on it also. However, it should be called a tostada. The Wagyu burger was not good. Not sure what the hype is but we did not find ourselves wanting to take another bite. It was extremely rich and heavy. Overall it's a nice restaurant but the menu needs an update. I suggest they have less pork on the menu for those that don't eat pork. I was really wanting to try the quail but it had chorizo which was a bummer. I will visit again when they have a seasonal menu with more items.

The standout was the beignet tray. The mini beignets came topped with powdered sugar and were served with a coffee glaze for dipping. They were small, warm, and delicious, with crispy edges and soft centers. This was easily the highlight of the meal and the dish I would come back for. To balance out the sweetness, I also ordered an egg-and-cheese taco on a corn tortilla with salsa. It was simple, but it did the job. My boyfriend ordered avocado toast and an iced coffee, and everything fit the casual brunch vibe. The atmosphere was chill, and parking validation was a plus. One thing to know before going is that the seating process is a little unusual: you order at the front first, then find a table. We arrived before the line grew and had no issue getting seated, but I could see this being stressful if the restaurant is crowded and tables are limited. Overall, Dish Society is a solid brunch spot on SoCo with a relaxed feel!

Had not been to this restaurant in a good while, and was a last minute decision. Good choice. The whipped feta is always a treat -- light and creamy with a solid feta taste, but not overpowering, served with a few orange slices and thinly sliced almonds, and pita. Special dish! Beet salad excellent, but the Fresno peppers had way too much heat, so pushed them to side. My wife had the Moroccan curry, which had a very spot on Moroccan flavor (been there 3x), and was a large, filling portion so brought home leftovers. I had the grilled pork chop which was large, perfectly grill with a tasty bourbon-based glaze, served with a large roasted garlic clove. Wonderful dish. My wife had a white wine that she enjoyed and my martini, slightly dirty with olives (to start) was a large pour and very smooth. Enjoyable meal in a nice setting once again ...

Miranda was our server and she was so kind and attentive. She made sure we had a great experience and was a pleasure to talk to. To eat I ordered the classic breakfast and to drink I had the vanilla maca. I didn't love the vanilla maca, and I only blame myself for that. I have never had maca so I didn't know what to expect but the drink basically tasted like a chocolate protein shake. Which isn't bad but I wanted like more of a latte so that was on me. My meal however? Loved it. Everything was so flavorful and hit the spot exactly with what I wanted. I also really appreciate a salad with breakfast since this helps lower your glucose spike and so when a restaurant offers this I know they know true wellness!!! My girlfriends both ordered the avocado toast and loved it. One ordered the cherry vanilla limeade and enjoyed it as well, but as an avid cherry hater I didn't try it...but if you like cherry she recommends it! I would come back to Austin just to eat here again. So good. So jealous this isn't back home... did I mention that already??!!

This 6-year-old, who eats bread on the daily, took one bite and wouldn't eat any more. We even get gluten-free bread regularly, and he eats it. The bread was fine, but don't expect flavor. By some miracle, they even made butter tasteless. I considered calling the Vatican to see if this was some holy, divine miracle, but my wife suggested maybe the main course would be better. We settled on the pesto pasta with chicken added for an additional fee. The pasta was good. Great texture, good flavor, and the combination of ingredients was good, but it's nothing original. It's pesto pasta. It's a classic. I appreciate the pomegranate seeds on the guacamole because it's original, it's clever, and it's different.
